pyslk.slk_retrieve(search_id, localpath) and pyslk.slk_retrieve(archpath, localpath) have different behavior

What happened

Expected behavior

import pyslk
pyslk.slk_retrieve("/arch/mh0010/m300408/showcase/dataset.zarr/.zmetadata", "/scratch/m/m300408/testretrieval/")

downloads the file .zmetadata to /scratch/m/m300408/testretrieval/. Because the preserve_path option is by default False, this is the expected behavior.

Unexpected/inconsistent behavior

However, in case I request the file not via the path but the search id, like so:

import pyslk
search_id = pyslk.slk_search_int('{"$and":[{"path":{"$gte":"/arch/mh0010/m300408/showcase/dataset.zarr","$max_depth":1}},{"resources.name":{"$regex":".zmetadata"}}]}')
pyslk.slk_retrieve(search_id, "/scratch/m/m300408/testretrieval/")

the file is downloaded to /scratch/m/m300408/testretrieval/arch/mh0010/m300408/showcase/dataset.zarr/.zmetadata. This was unexpected because preserve_path is still False by default.

The latter seems to only occur since a recent update of pyslk/slk. I observed this as it currently breaks slkspec. I can easily adjust it, but want to make sure that the adjustment would last.
